Operation
Correct matching of the canopy and the paramotor belongs to the
pilot.
Dudek Paragliders cannot take responsibility for all possible
combinations, but if you contact us we are always ready to help.
Weight range
Each size of the canopy is certified for specific weight range,
meaning total take-off weight including the pilot, harness,
paramotor, equipment and the canopy itself.
Exceeding maximum take-off weight described in technical data of
the paraglider (“Pilot’s weight incl. equipment”) increases risk of an
accident in case of pilot’s error.The smaller canopy area as
compared to take-off weight, the greater the risk.
Paragliders considerably change their character due to increased
load and each experienced pilot should perfectly understand that.
The biggest danger induced by overloading the canopy is its
hyperreactivity.
Caution:
Check your real take-off weight! Some pilots
calculate their take-off weight by just summing up catalogue
numbers, e.g.: paramotor 29 kg + canopy 6 kg + pilot 87 kg
= ca. 120 kg. In fact your actual take-off weight can be
umpteen kilograms bigger. Most often we forget the
clothing, electronics, backpacks, sometimes even such basic
things like fuel or rescue chute weight are omitted!
What harness?
For free flying you can use any certified harness which has its
hangpoints at 40-45 centimeters from the seatplate.The width
between carabiners should be somewhere between 40 and 45 cm.
CAUTION:
Please note that any modification of seat/hang
point distance changes the position of the brakes as related
to pilot's body. You must remember that in each harness
your steering range will be different.
